Why Take Risks!?

Mountain climbers take risks because they like the feeling of adrenaline rush. Just like many activities that requires a chance of risk, participants enjoy taking risks because they enjoy the fact that there is a chance that they might lose. People get addicted to taking risks because they are addicted to the good feeling when they take a bet and the sudden adrenaline rush fills them with pleasure. Just like gamblers, they are actually not addicted to winning or getting a huge amount of money because what end up happening is that they lose all their money but still come back every year after getting their paycheck to lose them all again. This is because they are addicted to the losing of the game. They came for fun, for risk, and the minute they set their bets and leave their money, there is a chance they might lose it all, and the sudden adrenaline rush fills them with joy and excitement. You often see gamblers laughing after they have lost a couple thousand because they feel like they have had a huge amount of enjoyment and they won't cash in until they lose everything. This applies to mountain climbers too. Although dead mountain climbers don't live to tell how exciting it is to lose it all, one reason mountain climber go climb higher and higher mountains is not just because they want to prove that they can conquer a high mountain, but rather the adrenaline that kicks in when they are in such dangerous situation.
